THE NEW YORKER going anyhow. I must confess that I lost track of Gallorette once or twice during the race, because she was carry- ing the colors of Mrs. Marie Moore, instead of the more familiar silks of W. L. Brann, for whom she ran sixty- eight times before she was sold recently. It cannot be said that the three-year- olds in the Beldame distinguished them- selves. The best showing was made by Alablue, who finished fifth. Getting back to Conniver, who has won eight of her thirteen starts this season, her share of the purse was $49,700, giving her a total of $149,990 for this year. She will be out at Belmont, most likely for the Ladies Handicap. Incidentally, Harry La Montagne, who owns her, says that he has half a mind to send her to England next year for the Ascot Gold Cup. W HAT should particularly recom- mend Algasir to you, as it does to Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark, his very proud owner, is that he improves with every race. You may recall that Olympia gave him four pounds and outran him for the first half mile of the Babylon Handicap. However, when they met at equal weigh ts, in the Cowdin Stakes last week, Algasir led all the way and won much more easily than he did in the Babylon Handicap. Algasir's next en- gagement, at Belmont, will be in the Champagne Stakes, at a mile. If he wins that-and if he doesn't, I shall be some- thing more than surprised-he'll be the future-book favorite for the Kentucky Derby, practically by acclamation. I T'S a matter of small interest, but I've never been enthusiastic about hurdle racing. No matter what its ad- herents say, it has not developed one first-class steeplechaser hereabouts. On the other hand, it has used up a lot of horses. One of these was an animal named Oatmeal, who was fatally slammed into the wing of a fence at Aqueduct the other afternoon. Not much of a reward for an old fellöw who, when he was racing on the flat, pulled many a horseplayer out of a bad pot at the end of the day. -AuDAX :\1INOR . In 1948 a million ne\v units will be on their way up. Since the average family consists of four people, this means new homes this year for four million. The four million will be vacating other premises- which means that still another four mil- lion will get the benefit of new space. -Life. And so on, ad infinitum.
